Select Content

The most efficient way to send content is to submit multiple entries (pages etc.) in a single request. If you submit a series of jobs, each with a single page, you will receive one quote for each job (e.g. for 100 individual jobs you will receive 100 individual quotes). This enables us to get you a better price and is quicker for you to publish the translations. To send all your content use the Select All Content button.

Web Content

This is the content you have published in pages and posts and includes page titles, headings, subheadings, body text content entered into containers. You are can translate:

1. Pages
2. Posts
3. Custom Post Types
4. Advanced Custom Fields
5. Yoast SEO

To translation web content, go to the My Jobs page in the plugin and click on Send Web Content.

Select the content you would like to send for translation using the check boxes to the left-hand side.

Only content (pages, posts, or custom post types) with the same language as you have specified as the site’s source language (Straker > Settings > Language Settings > Source Language).

Use the search, filter, page selector to move through the list of pages. Selected content will remain selected if you switch between search functions, filters, and so on.

Click Next > Choose languages to choose the language(s) you would like to translate the selected content into and receive a quote for.

Using the Shopping Cart

The shopping cart feature helps to track your selection of content before requesting a quote. You can go straight to the cart from the main menu in the sidebar. The numeral icon tells you how many items are currently in the cart.

You can add items to your cart in two ways, directly from the page or post or from the main contents list.

1. Directly from the page and/or post

Once you are in the edit mode of a page or post use the top right-hand panel to add the content of the page to your cart.

You will see a green tick confirming your page has been added. Click on the cart link to see the contents of your cart.

2. From the main content list

Under My Jobs click on the Send Web Content button and use the check boxes to select your content, any previously selected content will appear with a shopping trolley icon indicating that it is already selected. Scroll down to select Next – Choose Language to see all items in the cart, use the rubbish icon to remove items from the cart or the Back button to select additional content.

Once your content has been sent for a quote the cart will empty and you can proceed to select the next batch of content.

Send All Website Content

If you would like to send all your WordPress website content select the Send All Content button at the top right of the Jobs page. You will see a summary of the selection to be sent including content type and totals. If your website is very large you may exceed the file size maximum, just contact us directly as we can still translate your site.

Yoast SEO Data

If you are using Yoast SEO you may also wish to include the Yoast fields for translation. To do so check the box next to the Include Yoast SEO data? option. Pages with Yoast data with have a green tick indicating content is available for translation. This may incur extra costs for specialist translators, reviewers and time spent in consultation with you to select the best SEO terms for your intended search results.

Sort Content by Sorted by Date

If you have a site which sets the order it surfaces by date, please note that there is no date relationship between the source language and the target language. Content will be ordered by the time the translated content is published.

Translating Hard Coded Strings and PO Files

For any hard coded strings, please put it in a .po file and send it for translation via the file upload function. When you are re-importing the .po file (.po compiles to .mo files) make sure you adjust the language codes so that the translation can be surfaced. To simplify compiling MO files we recommend using Loco Translate https://wordpress.org/plugins/loco-translate.
